The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

Hi Girls!

Looking for some advice...

I came off Cerazette 15 days ago and have been trying to conceive ever since.
I never had a bleed whilst on Cerazette for 7years. I was initially on Cerazette for 3 years, had a break and bleed within 3weeks of coming off it, then was back on it for 7 years until now. I have never tried for a baby before nor know anything of what to expect from coming off the pill (I can't remember anything bad last time I came off it, other than a heavy period).
Symptoms to date...
Sore, achy boobs- big blue veins, larger harder nipples.
Cervix... So hard to explain, sorry for so much details but it just feels totally different down there when we are having sex, never felt like how it does before.

I've done a few negative tests, but I think it's too soon to test anyway.

Can someone please give me some advice.

Thank you xx
 
Welcome louja!
A lot of women find coming off cerazette mimics early pregnancy symptoms, but there is also a possibility that coming off the pill gives you a boost in your fertility and some women fall pregnant straight away.
For me personally, it took about four weeks for my period to show up and I fell pregnant 8 months after coming off the pill.
I suggest you buy some cheap pregnancy tests and take it easy for a few days just in case - my nipples were a dead giveaway the month I fell pregnant, so it may be that you are preggers and it is too early to show up. I'd try testing every few days (ok if I'm honest and it was me I'd be testing every morning as I have no patience at all!) just to check.
I think I got my positive about ten days after ovulation, but it can take longer for the hormones to build up, so it might just be too early to show up for you.
Good luck, hope that helps and keep us posted!

I was on cerazette 5 yrs with no periods. Came off Jan 3 2011 ovulated 16 days later but we didn't Ttc that month. Then fell pregnant on the next cycle.
I had no symptoms until 6 weeks preggers and I've never felt my cervix so can't help on that one

Thanks for the advice girls, I really appreciate it!

It is so frustrating waiting to find out, I just can't explain how uncomfortable my boobs are... especially when I take my bra off... they ache and are so sore. My fiance has remarked on the size of my nipples, hahaha... something is definitely going on! I have never experienced achy boobs or any difference in my boobs when I use to have a period so I hope it's a good sign and not just my body being use to not having Cerazette.

I have been really constipated too and had tummy cramps, the main thing though is definitely my boobs and feeling worn out.

I am trying to not test too much as it does make you feel down when you get a negative result. I've used the clear blue digital and first response. Are these the best ones for an early result? I am trying to not test again until the end of October... though watch this space as I have a spare Clear blue test in the box.

How easy is it to get the doctors to give you a blood test to see, or do I just need to be patient?

Any other signs and symptoms I should be looking out for? The change in my 'bits' is weird... hopefully a good weird, fiance says it soft but swollen... hmmm this is all new to me, and I'm so impatient!!

Hi Samie,

Can I just ask, how did you know you'd ovulated?

Thanks x
 
Hi Louja!

It took 9 weeks for me to get a period after stopping cerazette! Then 4 more months to get pregnant. I used opks and temping the last 2 months before getting pregnant and that really helped me know my cycle! I used to clearblue smiley face opk (expensive but good) and I also used the first response pregnancy tests when the time came. Hope that helps and good luck :-) x
 
Hey louja,

I got my first af 7 weeks after stopping cerazette, I then went on to take 18 mths to conceive but I have PCOS and don't ovulate on my own so don't panic haha!!

I hope your symptoms are good signs, just try not to worry too much! Your plan not to test till end of October is probably a good one if you can hold out! :winkwink:

I don't know about the dr doing bloods, maybe worth an ask?

How are you feeling Amelia?

I used ovulation test to track my cycles and it worked perfect.

I think being off cerazette 15 days only is probably way to early. the likelyhood of ovulation before now is slim..... maybe about now ish the egg may be released so bd lots now and maybe in 2 weeks who knows!
Doctors will more than likely decline any bloods because they would rather you wait a while and see how your body regulates

Thanks for your replies girls!

Definitely lots of bd... fingers crossed! Though I do hope the pregnancy feeling I have right now... has a slight chance of being true... who knows if not then there is always next month O:)

It's nice to get some advice and to be able to discuss what's going on and get some answers off people who have been through it already.

Thanks xx
 
Fingers crossed!
I thought it would take me years having read all the horror stories online. Never in a million years did I think it would be 6 weeks!!! And shes now nearly 1.

Fire away with questions we're all here

Thanks hun, I hope I manage to get caught so quickly! Would your CP effect Bd/sex, as it feels different...something I've never experienced... though I've basically been on Cerazette for as long as I can remember. I've never noticed bd/sex feeling different certain times of the month, until now!

Lets hope the CP, sore bbs, tummy cramps are a good sign and not just coming off Cerazette :wacko: xxx

Tbh when I was on cerazette my sex drive was poo and I really didnt enjoy it much (but I didn't realise this until I came off it)
Soon as I stopped taking it I was completely different and everything felt so much different and better!
 
Hi Lou,

I got my BFP nearly 3 weeks ago. It took me 5-6 months to fall pregnant. I used OPK's for 1 month so work out when I would ovulate but I get cramping during ovulation so I can feel it anyway. Keep up with the bd :)

Hi Sarah,

Congratulations!! I hope that I get caught as soon as you did... would be nice if it was sooner... just need to go with the flow I guess!

I just want to get to the end of the month and have a BFP or AF so I know where I am.

I bet you're really excited. Did you know you were pregnant before you tested? What signs/symptoms did you get?

xx
 
I had period pain about 6/7days before my period was due and also really sore boobs and from that I knew I was pregnant. I believed the pain I had was implantation. I also got my bfp 4 days before AF was due and it was the girls on this thread that confirmed it was a bfp on the test as I wasn't sure until I bought a digital
 
Hi,

Betty I'm feeling ok at the moment, apart from I had reduced movements over the weekend and monday so I went in to be monitored and all is ok. I was proud of myself for not worrying or needing anything extra the whole time, but this was too worrying to leave! I think baby was just having a lazy few days!

On a worse note, my estate agent phoned me this morning and said the landlord wants us out by the 17th December, oh cheers for that landlord!! He expects us to move out with a newborn the week before Christmas! And i'm worried about finding somewhere else to live now!! :-( So I've been really upset today

Hope everyone else is well x
 
Hi Louja welcome to the thread. Gl on your ttc journey. Dont get your hopes up too high as youve barely had time to ovulate. Weve all had the pregnancy symptoms. Hope you catch an egg soon :)
Amelia its soo close for you now, I was thinking about you the other day thinking it wont be long :) Such an exciting time and now to be facing having to look for somewhere to move is awful :( Really hope the landlord can either delay until new year (is that a possibility?) or that the perfect place pops up for you guys without much hassle. :hugs:
 
Aww Amelia, the same thing happened with us and went in on the Sunday all was well and my waters broke the following Saturday! So excited for you!

That's crap about your house, I second honey can you not ask the landlord to wait maybe? House hunting and moving is bad enough let alone with a newborn :(

Honey nice to see a post from you :hugs:
